Musaddas

Musaddas ({{Langx|ur|مسدس}}) is a genre of Urdu poetry in which each unit consists of 6 lines-sestain- (misra). Famous early writers employing this form are Mir Anis and Dabeer. Maulana Altaf Husain Hali and Waheed Akhtar are other well-known poets to find expression in this form of poetry. Particularly iconic is Hali's Madd-o-Jazr-e-Islam as an exemplary of this form.[http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00urdu/hali/musaddas/02_intro_01.pdf "The form of the Musaddas"] Columbia University.
